Amsoil is one of the ones the testing engineers at my wife's old job spoke highly of. It was the Amsoil oil itself the discussion with them was about and not any of their additives. With that said though I still run Delo 400 in the old 300SD we have here and I think it is around 215k miles and definitely no issues but given how many of those engines are out there running a LOT more miles than that then not sure oil selection tells me much on it specifically. I used to run Amsoil in the Ford 6.0 sitting here but ultimately switched back to Delo 400 and now days actually it is whatever the mechanic uses because I quit doing my own changes. My 6.0 has had a lot of injector failures but they are known for that problem so not sure if oil selection had anything to do with it. The 6.0 has 250k or so miles, for whatever that is worth and no engine issues to date outside the stupid injectors of course.

I am using Power Service from Day one ...
First of all, diesel in NA is in range ~40 octane and in Europe ~ 55 (not expert but it could damage injectors on long run).
Power service is increasing octane value for ~8 and it brings to Europe octane value.
As for cleaning, I agree that current USLD is clean enough that you don't need extra cleaning but from time to time, you can get diesel from bottom of tank which it could include some dirt, water etc.
Also, a lot of additives are designed for OM642, bio-diesel engine and you have to check label before put in tank.
In my case, I see difference in power and engine work with Power Service additive - I put EVERY time around one glass when I fill tank ..

I had a 2005 F250 with 6.0 powerstroke that I purchased used in Nov '11 with 211,000 miles on it and regret not researching before buying it. It was almost impossible to start below 40 degrees F. and I traded it and a 2002 911 Porsche convertible for a big loss on both. Porsche was nickel dimeing me witth
only 43k miles as I only put 17k miles on it from purchase at a Porsche dealer as a CPO car. Another hard lesson learned. I bought a new 2012 F350 crew cab FX4 short bed w/ultimate lariet pkg in White Platinum Metallic and 6.7L powerstroke, 20" rims,etc and am very happy with it 13;500 miles later. I use 5W-40(DEO) synthetic oil in it with excellent results and cetane boost plus diesel fuel concentrate additives @ rate of 1oz. per 5 gal of fuel. I will do likewise with my S350 BlueTec after getting it home from Dallas,Tx.. I've used Amsoil since 1983 and I swear by their lubes and fuel additives as well as spin on filters that they make for my truck.

I need to clarify what motor oil I will use in the S350 BlueTec and it is a 5W-40 European Formula that is low SAPS and MB 229.51 specificaton. I actually have been using this very same oil in my '98 S320V for over 60,000 miles now and the odometer reads over 187,000 as I bought the car used 12-07. I use a gasoline additive in it called P.I. from Amsoil and only a 12oz bottle every 4500 miles or more also with excellent results.

Learned my lesson
Bought my 2010 CPO Blutec two years ago and 4 months into ownership, discovered a water problem. After two filter changes in a year, I've been using SeaFoam to try to prevent the water problem for about a year now. Recently had a HPFP fail and Dealer blamed me for using SeaFoam as causing the HPFP to fail. Looking at VWTDI and other CR forums, the HPFP failure was probably imminent, and may or may not have been related to the additive, per Bertrand Russell's teapot.

Hi! I'm experimenting with 2-stroke oil mixed 1:200 in the diesel. So far results have been very good, and idle on my OM612 now have a bit of the characteristic pre-chamber sound! Noise from the injectors are reduced significantly!
I even read on a German forum that smoke level was almost reduced by 50% when using 2-stroke oil. Economy and poweroutput was increased by 3-5%.
In this part for the world it is almost common knowledge, that the Detroit 6.2L and 6.5L used in older GM trucks needs added 2-stroke oil to prevent premature IP failure. Some people also claims that engines running added 2-stroke oil are very clean inside.
I have used other additives from STP before, but not with any noticeable effect. My opinion is strictly subjective, but I'm am going to stay with 2-stroke oil as a simple and cheap way of improving the fuel.

Just thought I would point this out for people who wish to use additives, but not spend as much adding it yourself.
I found a local distributor here in TN (Seay Oil) that services a few stations around here. Seay oil has the capability of loading the stations with their "extreme diesel" that already has Power service +Cetane Boost, Slick Diesel Lubricator, HPCR detergents, and is winterized. I called up one of the stations they service and asked if they would request Seay to use the extreme diesel next time they fill and they said they would.
SO instead of buying a tank of fuel and then dropping the cash on the above additives separately, you get it already included in the fuel and for only a few cents more per gallon.
Here's the link I used, and there is a "locate distributors" tab that will let you see who in your area has this available. Just call and ask them to use it.

Taken from a sprinter site...
Many like to refer to BEVO and some like to state that Mother Mercedes doesn't recommend additives. That is just not true.
Mother Mercedes acknowledges that additives are required for proper engine operation. What MB and BEVO state is that the additives contained in good quality fuel from reputable suppliers is all that is needed. Assuming proper fuel quality (reports are that fuel quality in the EURO markets is better than USA fuel) they don't believe that there is any necessary advantage in secondary additives.
BEVO also acknowledges that viscosity improvers (antigel) are sometimes necessary. The trick will be finding one on the shelves in North America that MB approves. (If that approval should be important to you for some reason.) In my opinion, addition of Power Service Diesel Kleen with antigel (white jug) noticeably improves my starting during the low winter temperatures which I need to deal with. As I've stated before, I use PS regularly in winter, more sproadically in the summer. For example, if the PS jug runs dry in March it likely doesn't get replaced until late Fall.
Here's some select text from the BEVO site. The red is my highlights. The links are provided should you care to get into it more deeply.

Commonly commercially available fuels are blends of a variety of
compounds, principally hydrocarbons with different chemical and
physical properties. To meet the demands made today with
regard to fuels, the basic fuel is provided with additives during
production. These additives are chemical compounds which are
soluble in fuel and must be of an organic type (exception: lead
organic compounds in leaded fuel) and able to alter existing
properties or to add additional properties to the fuel.
These additives prevent or reduce e.g. coking of valves, deposits
of combustion products in the engine and corrosion damage in
the fuel system of gasoline engines. The practical properties of
diesel fuel can likewise be improved with additives.
Extensive research has shown that the use of gasoline and diesel
fuels with high additivity levels for the longevity and cleanliness
of engines and fuel systems, maintenance of favorable exhaust
emission values as well as achieving good operational
characteristics is a necessary measure which in the long term is
also an economic one.
In terms of the supply of such fuels, the individual customer must
rely on the filling stations that he/she visits selling such fuels with
additives; the opinion of large companies passed>on to us has
shown that this is the case nationally, and is usually the case in
respect of independent filling stations not tied to major suppliers.
Fleet customers are usually able to ensure the supply of products
with additives in bilateral negotiations; we recommend these
customers to insist forcefully on such fuels.
The correct selection, application and metering of such additives
depend on detailed research in the laboratory, on test benches
and in vehicles, so that the effect of the additives is optimized for
the respective fuel, additives are adapted to each other and do
not cause any negative side effects. Since the consumer will
generally not have the required facilities for this, mixing additives
to fuels may be the exclusive preserve of the manufacturers of
such fuels.
However, drivers are constantly being offered fuel additives with
the promise of huge success, such as higher engine output at
lower fuel consumption, for example. For better distinction, we
have given these additives the name of secondary additives.
Our vehicle engines do not require such secondary additives, since
in most cases uniform and adequate grades of fuel can be
assumed. If in some countries diesel fuels have less favorable
characteristics (e.g. high content of sulfur), the use of engine oils
approved by us is particularly important. Additionally, any
increase of the sulfur content in diesel fuel goes hand>in>hand
with a reduction in engine oil>change intervals (generally
regulated using the onboard computer [ edit: aka ASSYST for Sprinters] ),
this measure is significantly more effective than adding any secondary additives.
Special attention should be paid to making sure that only the fuel
grade recommended by us is used. The use of secondary additives
on the other hand, only involves additional and unnecessary
expense.
The application of secondary additives is always at the sole risk of
the operator of the vehicle, since their use may impair the
warranty issued both by the manufacturer of the vehicle and the
fuel supplier; for gasoline vehicles with catalytic converters and
diesel vehicles with particulate filters, it should be categorically
avoided.
An exception to this are certain flow improvers or microbiocides.
It is possible, to a certain extent, for these to improve the low>
temperature properties of diesel fuel or to avoid the growth of
microorganisms in diesel fuel. Only the products approved on the
relevant Sheet 137.1 and 138.1, respectively, may be used. It is
important to refer to the corresponding notes. Use of such
additives should be regarded as an exceptional measure in the last
resort.

Additives
With regard to the service life and cleanliness of the engines and
fuel systems, the retention of favorable exhaust>emission values
as well as the attainment of an overall positive operating
behavior, the use of diesel fuel with high additivity levels
represents a necessary measure which in the long term is also
inexpensive.
In terms of the supply of such fuels, the individual customer must
rely on the filling stations that he/she visits selling such fuels with
additives; the opinion of large companies passed>on to us has
shown that this is the case nationally, and is usually the case in
respect of independent filling stations not tied to major suppliers.
Large customers are generally in a position to enter into bilateral
negotiations that guarantee the supply of products containing
additives; we would recommend these customers to demand that
they are provided with such fuels only.
We would expressly like to point out that according to our
assessment the slight percentage increase in fuel costs is more
than compensated for by the savings in terms of maintenance and
servicing and the lower susceptibility for repair work. Typical
complaints that can be prevented from occurring through the use
of increased additives in the fuels are, e.g. coking of injection
nozzles, wear and corrosive damages throughout the entire fuel
system. Apart from this constantly improving exhaust>emission
values help to take the burden off the environment.
The fuel additive gains greater significance when the problems
associated with lubricity in sulfur>free fuels is entered into the
equation (see section on "Lubricity")Looked at in this way
optimizing the additive process is no longer an option, but a
necessity.
The additive process should be undertaken by the supplier as part
of its quality assurance responsibility with regard to the fuels, the
addition of secondary additives by the customer is not
recommended.
Lubricity
The reduction in sulfur content for environmental reasons which
has taken place during the past few years has brought with it the
problem of the diesel fuel's lubricity, because hydrogenation of
the middle distillate which was required to gain the reduction,
also caused the removal of the natural lubrication enhancers.
There is evidence that diesel fuels that comply with the European
limit of max. 350 mg/kg as of 1.1.2005
max. 50 or 10 mg/kg (sulfur>free diesel fuel is to be available "in a
geographically balanced manner") may cause sulfur wear in the
injector equipment. This means that the addition of lubricant
enhancing additives by the fuel producers is absolutely essential if
our customers are to be protected against long>term damage.
[I use USA fuel which is reportedly a lower standard fuel.]
EN 590 regulates this through specifications in the "HFRR test"
("High Frequency Reciprocating Rig Test"), in which a ball is put
into forced oscillation under load on a plate, whereby the diesel
fuel to be tested serves as lubricating medium. This test is in
existence both as a CEC specification (CEC F>06>A96) and an ISO
testing technique (ISO 12156>1). The maximum permissible limit
value for the lubricity in the HFRR test has been defined in EN 590
at 460 μm at 60 ∞C.
Although the method is largely accepted in the industry, point of
criticisms regarding precision and meaningfulness (i.e. correlation
with practice) of the test still exist.
Low>temperature behavior
The hydrocarbon compounds generally looked on favorably for
operation in diesel engines have a big disadvantage; they are not
resistant to cold, i.e. even at a few degrees below zero, they form
paraffins in the form of crystals. These paraffin crystals, that
"coalesce", plug up the fuel filter, fuel lines and injection system
and as a result they render operation impossible. Indeed although
it is frequently possible to start the engine, it soon comes to a
standstill. This does not damage the engine, and once the fuel has
warmed up the fuel regains its flowability. From a measuring
technique point of view attempts have been undertaken to solve
the problem with the so>called cloud point, the pour point and
the cold filter plugging point (CFPP).
Depending upon the method of fuel production and the vehicle
configuration it was possible in practice to transfer these
parameters more or less successfully. Today the "filterability limit
value" is generally given in terms of the "Cold Filter Plugging
Point" (EN 116). In this method, abbreviated to CFPP, the lowest
temperature is calculated at which a given fuel quantity flows
through a specified filter within a definite period of time.
According to the standard this limit value lies below 0 ∞C in
summer, and it lies below >20 ∞C in winter. During the transitional
period a max. of >10 ∞C is permitted. Even when normally a
provision of at least 3 ∞C is also given, it is obvious that when the
temperatures drop, difficulties cannot be ruled out. One can
improve the low>temperature resistance of diesel by adding
petroleum (kerosene) in good time.
Apart from a certain drop in performance this has no negative
effect on the engine, as long as the given maximum values are not
exceeded. With regard to such blends however, organizational
problems remain to be resolved, apart from that there are
customs law and safety technicality regulations that must be
adhered to. The admixture not only has a positive influence on
the low>temperature behavior, but also exerts a negative
influence on viscosity, the flash point, density and the cetane
number. There have been flowability improvers on the market for
some time now in the form of special additives. If one reads the
manufacturer's specifications, then it is apparent that such
additives can indeed be of use. Unfortunately, they do not have
the same desired affect on every kind of fuel (see to Sheet 137.0).
Now that there are several suppliers who offer diesel fuel with a
guaranteed low>temperature resistance, it is advisable to use such
fuels only. See Sheets 137.0 and 137.1
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Edit: MB BEVO acknowledges that microorganisms can be a problem. Interestingly they only list one product in MB 138.1 which is GrotaMar 71. I know for a fact that there are many microbiocides (algaecides or algicides?) which are used in boat diesel fuel tanks that many people use successfully and recommend. I suspect that the same applies to antigels.
I feel the Gospel according to BEVO contradicts itself in these two separate sections. It's of no real consequence, I just enjoy pointing such things out.

MBWorld Fanatic!
I use Optilube. It has one of the best ratings for friction mitigation as determined by third party testing.
It is well known that the ULSD does not have the same lubricating properties as LSD and older diesel standards. Also I use their Boost product, which is almost pure hexadecane, which raises the cetane number to ensure a more complete burn during the power stroke. By the way, there is no upper safety limit to the cetane number, there is only a point in which further increasing it adds no further benefit.
As most fuel retailers fill up their tanker trucks at the same depots, we must rely on additives being blended in at a later stage in the distribution process. How much quality control is there? I don't know. I guess we have to trust that their numbers are accurate even though they don't readily publish them. If I fill up at a non-name brand station, do they put in any additives at all? I don't know.
So for me, I'm not willing to take the gamble, so I always use additives.
It is well known that the ULSD does not have the same lubricating properties as LSD and older diesel standards. Also I use their Boost product, which is almost pure hexadecane, which raises the cetane number to ensure a more complete burn during the power stroke. By the way, there is no upper safety limit to the cetane number, there is only a point in which further increasing it adds no further benefit.
As most fuel retailers fill up their tanker trucks at the same depots, we must rely on additives being blended in at a later stage in the distribution process. How much quality control is there? I don't know. I guess we have to trust that their numbers are accurate even though they don't readily publish them. If I fill up at a non-name brand station, do they put in any additives at all?

Regarding the oil discussions in this thread, has anyone else had issues or catastrophic failure using MB Mobil 1 5W-40 ESP throughout the life of their BLUETEC? Current MB data and specs now show that this is not an approved oil for the OM642. The OM642 engine in my 2010 ML350 BLUETEC only lasted 82K miles, and I've kept details of my MBUSA experience in my thread as found here:

Any insight or guidance on this topic towards building a legal case against MBUSA is appreciated.

I don't have anything to add but you can check Wikipedia's references:

I buy the Optilube and Optilube Boost in gallon jugs. I do a dose of each in each tank, which only costs me about $4 per tank. That raises my cetane number about 12 points, which ensures that whatever station I fill up at I will end up with at least a cetane number of 52 and as high as 66. That with my EGR delete will maximize my power and prevent production of soot.

Something Canadians should consider regarding the decision to use additives. Canada only requires voluntary reporting and compliance.
From the Pembina Institute:

When reviewing these jurisdictions, it was noted that Canada has the fewest mandatory requirements for fuel quality and the least stringent monitoring and enforcement practices

Just for everyone's information, I was looking up the content of Alkyl nitrates (the cetane boosting additive) in both PS and Opti-lube. Concentration by weight according to MSDS:
PS Diesel additive + Cetane Boost 10 - 20% - Alkyl nitrates
Opti-lube Boost! 70% - 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate
Opti-lube XPD 6.6 - 13% - 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate
PS Diesel additive + Cetane Boost 10 - 20% - Alkyl nitrates
Opti-lube Boost! 70% - 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate
Opti-lube XPD 6.6 - 13% - 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate

I personally believe that because there are more females and snow mobiles than males in Canada they could give a RA about the quality of their fuel--as long as it get's them to York they are happy!

Whatever the reason may be, it's apparent that we cannot trust that diesel fuel in Canada meets the minimum standards or those required for reliable operation of the engine.
